FAQs
What is the maximum water depth for this pump?
The pump is designed to sit on the pond floor. Its maximum head height is 1.3 meters, meaning it can push water up to that height. Ensure it is fully submerged for optimal performance.
How many fountain effects can I create?
The Oase Aquarius Fountain Set 1000 comes with 3 distinct nozzle patterns that allow you to create different fountain shapes.
Can I run a small waterfall and a fountain at the same time?
Yes, the pump features a second adjustable outlet which can be used to power a small waterfall or stream while the main outlet powers the fountain.
What is the warranty period?
The pump comes with a full 2-year guarantee, plus an additional 1-year extension, totaling a 3-year warranty period.
How often should I clean the pump?
It is recommended to check and clean the pump's intake and nozzles periodically, especially during the active season, to maintain optimal performance. The frequency depends on the amount of debris in your water feature.
What are the dimensions of the pump?
The dimensions of the pump are approximately 182 mm (Length) x 202 mm (Width) x 142 mm (Height).
Is the power cable length sufficient for most ponds?
The pump comes with a 10-meter long power cable, which is generally sufficient for most standard garden pond setups, providing flexibility in placement.
Troubleshooting
Pump is not operating
Check that the power cable is securely connected to both the pump and the power outlet. Ensure the outlet is functioning by testing with another device. Verify that the pump is fully submerged.
Low water flow or weak fountain
Clean the intake screen and nozzle attachments for any debris or calcification. Check the hose connections for leaks. Ensure the telescopic extension is not obstructed.
Unusual noise during operation
Turn off the pump and inspect the impeller area for any foreign objects or obstructions. Ensure the pump is stable and not vibrating against any surfaces.
Pump stops unexpectedly
The thermal cut-off device may have activated due to overheating. Ensure the pump is adequately submerged and the intake is not blocked. Allow the pump to cool down before restarting.
